.
Soul's POV
.
The serpent hissed and launched at Maka. Maka gasped and dove out of the way. Kiyo's spiky tail came swinging around from behind her.
"Maka, behind you!" I yelled. I turned back into myself and ran to Maka, pushing her out of the way. I felt a sharp pain as the tail hit me and I was smashed against the side of a building. I gasped in pain; it was like nothing I felt before. I couldn't breathe or move as I was squashed between the building and the tail. Blackness swarmed before my eyes and I felt more afraid than I ever had before. Then everything went black.
.
Maka's POV
.
I hit the ground and spun around to see the serpent's tail hit Soul.
"NO!" I screamed and stood up. I ran over to the tail and tried to pull it away from Soul. After a few tries the tail moved and Soul fell to the ground. I ran over beside Soul and checked to see if he was alive. I could hear a faint heartbeat.
"Soul," I sobbed. I heard a hiss and the serpent was looming forward to strike again. She got close then stopped, a look of shock on her face.
"Shisha?" she asked.
.
Kiyo's POV
.
'Why is Death's messenger helping a human?' I thought as my anger disappeared. As I looked around, I saw to my horror Lord Death's son standing a few feet away.
'I could have killed him in my anger!' I thought. When I'm angry I attack anything I see. I turned back into a human and fell to the ground.
"I'm sorry!" I said to the young reaper. "I didn't mean to hurt your father's messenger."
"What are you talking about?" the witch screamed. "Get them!" I felt my anger return.
"YOU!" I roared. "You meant for this to happen." I turned to the witch who was backing up slowly.
"Do you know what would've happened if I killed Shisha or worse, Lord Death's son?" I hissed as I slithered towards her. The witch screeched and turned into a vulture. I smiled to myself as she flew away. The hunt was on and that witch was going down.
.
After the serpent chased the witch away, Liz and Tsubaki carried Soul to the school.
.
"Will he be alright?" Maka asked.
"I don't know yet," Stein admitted. "Why don't you go wait outside with the others?"
"Can't I stay here?" Maka begged.
"No Maka." Maka sighed and left the room. The others ran to her when she got to the hall.
"Is he going to be alright?" Black*Star yelled.
"I don't know," Maka sobbed. "This is all my fault. I should have been more careful."
"It's not your fault," Kid said. "You didn't know Kiyo could do that."
"But you did," Liz pointed out, trying to change the subject. "As a matter of fact, there was a lot of things that didn't make sense. Who was that serpent?"
"Kiyo is a sea guardian's daughter. She fell in love with a human once and used to visit him but one day the man she loved fell in love with another woman. Kiyo was furious. In her rage she turned into a serpent and hunted him down."
"Ok... that sounds like a myth of some sort," Liz told him.
"Most myths come from real things," Kid said.
"Wait!" Maka said, trying to get her mind off the current situation. "If there are people from myths walking around wouldn't we notice them?"
"Most immortals can turn invisible to humans," Kid said. The door behind them opened and Stein walked out.
"Soul will be alright," he said and they all gave a sigh of relief.
"Can we see him sir?" Maka asked. Stein nodded and the kids ran in.
Soul was lying on a bed, still and pale. Maka sat down next to him. It was quiet for a few minutes.
"Hey Kid?" Patty asked trying to break the silence. "How many immortals are in this room right now?"
'Does that include me?' Kid wondered to himself. "There's a lot of immortals here."
"Really?" Black*Star looked around. "Are there usually a lot in the school?"
"No, most won't intrude in my father's school," Kid informed them.
"Then why are they here?" Tsubaki asked.
"...Something happened," Kid said slowly. Many of the immortals here were close friends of Shisha; the rest were there to see if it was true that an immortal really got hurt. That didn't happen every day and it made them angry. Lady Luck shot Maka a killer glance.
'Right,' thought Kid. 'Tonight I'll go to my father and have him put Maka under his protection before someone hurts her.' The immortals blamed Maka for this, not Kiyo. Kiyo was after Maka not Shisha. They blamed Maka for somehow manipulating Shisha so he would get in the way and they were also mad at Maka for angering Kiyo in the first place.
.
Stein's POV
.
Maka and her friends ran past me into the room Soul was in. After they went in I walked to the Death Room.
"Lord Death?" I said as I walked in.
"Come in Stein!" he said cheerfully. "What's up? How is Soul doing?"
"Soul's recovering fast," I said frowning.
"That's great!" Death exclaimed.
"It doesn't make any sense," I told him. "His injuries were really bad; there's no way he could've survived it. It seems like one of the serpent's tail spikes went right through him and when he was smashed against the wall a bunch of his bones where crushed but now all of that is fixed. He seems perfectly fine now."
"Well I guess he's lucky then," Death said in a tone that ended any more discussion.
"I guess he is," I sighed and turned to leave the Death Room.
"Oh Stein?" Lord Death said. "Please don't tell anyone about this."
"Ok," I said and walked out of the room.
'He said not to tell anyone, not that I couldn't try to figure it out,' I thought to myself. "And I'm definitely going to figure this out.'
